The Four MAs Trend Indicator for MT4 is a powerful trend-filtering tool designed to identify trending and non-trending market conditions with high accuracy. Using a color-coded histogram, the indicator reveals bullish, bearish, and flat (sideways) markets, helping traders avoid low-probability setups during periods of consolidation

Green histogram bars → Bullish trend

Red histogram bars → Bearish trend
